Just received this from a friend today. Hope it's not a duplicate post.

Things are heatin' up down there at the border and I'm not talking about the chili peppers either.

Has anyone heard this on the news? I'm not suprised if it's not being talked about.

Today F-16’s, tomorrow AC-130H Spectre’s?

One high speed pass by a -16 and that bugsmasher would have folded like a cheap lawn chair.

[MindBender26]

Typical D congresswoman. Why not just make all drug smuggling a serious, 20 year in the slammer crime.

Who cares how they do it?

Yep. No need to waste ammo or ordnance.

Splash the zero.

I’m still wondering how an F-16 can travel slowly enough to shadow an ultralight.

Great Movie

[McGavin999]

They need to just take them out. There is no reason what-so-ever for anyone to be flying an ultra light across the border.

[Hunton Peck]

By flying circles around it? Loops would work too, I s’pose.

Davis Monthan is ten minutes from my house.

[SmokingJoe]

Under the proposed legislation, a drug smuggler caught using an ultralight would face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 dollar fine

Too linient.
Let's do what Singapore does to drug smugglers:
Singapore executes drug smugglers .
Harsh Punishments for Drug Use in Southeast Asia.
The best kind of drug smuggler is a dead one.

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps a couple A10’s out of Davis Monthan would be a better choice...and longer loiter time.

[Viking2002]

Aw, Jiminy Cricket. We put up that much firepower over a glorified hang glider? Hell, a few of us Freepers would have had fun poking holes in Manuel's bedsheets with a 20-gauge, and we'd have paid for our own ammo, too.

"Loco gringos! AAAIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!" LOL

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

A10s are not configured for air-to-air engagements.

[Windflier]

If you know where illegal aliens work, live or hang out, the Feds have a TIP LINE—866-347-2423. Pass this on.

[Noahs Rook]

No they’re not, but they would be an effective deterrent versus an ultralight. Just one “burp” would do it.

[Tucker39]

I’m wondering why they wasted the fuel and wear & tear on those F-16s and then didn’t WASTE the crappy thing. Alien aircraft encroaches into OUR airspace. Case closed!

[PapaBear3625]

How about this instead: ordering the Air Force to shoot down any unauthorized aircraft coming across the border.
